obama stepped into his stump speech attacking mitt romney on how he's going to raise taxes on the middle class, you know, so millionaires and billionaires can get a $5 trillion tax cut, mr. romney said, hold the phone, mr. president. watch this. >> governor romney's proposal that he's been promoting for 18 months calls for a $5 trillion tax cut on top of $2 trillion of additional spending for our military. and he is saying that he is going to pay for it by closing loopholes and deductions. >> virtually everything you just said about any tax plan is inaccurate. >> steve: that's what a lot of people on the right have been saying for a while. when the president says something, that is a lie, call him on it and mitt romney did last night. >> that's right. but he was -- the beginning especially, obama kept going through the same tired talking points, over and over again, even after romney said, that isn't my tax plan. let me tell you again what i'm going to do. by the way, explaining it beautifully, believably, accurately, but also not in too complicated manner. another great moment for romne

(cheers & applause) the fellow on stage last night he loved speeches he cannot get enough of them. mitt romney, the one that we know has invested in companies there were called pioneers of outsourcing jobs to other countries. the guy on stage last night. he said that he does not even know that there were such laws that encouraged outsourcing. never heard of them! never heard of them! never heard of tax rates for companies that ship rate jobs overseas. perhaps he needs a new accountant? now, we know for sure that it was not the real macron because he seems to be doing just fine with his accounts. the roll-mitt romney--and you see the man on stage last night he does not want to be held accountable. for those real mitt romney. and that is because he knows full well that we do not want what he has been selling for the last one year. (cheers & applause) gov. mitt romney could be dancing around his decisions but if you want to be president you owe the american people the truth. >> that is the mathematics of the issues and we cannot afford to go down that road again. we cannot afford more
